Mini Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze

Ok so it is blueberry season again, and for many people that means that the cost of this amazing fruit is less expensive in the grocery store. For me it means spending a little time in the yard picking the ripest blueberry's off my blueberry bush.

This is something that I look forward to all year long. I am so exicted whenever I can use something that I grew in a recipe. These scones are so good. I have already eaten 3. You can make them any size you want just remember the larger they are the longer you will need to bake them. I made mini's so that I can take them as a snack for my relief society lesson today.

I slightly adapted the Tyler Florence recipe on the Food Network Website, since I didn't plan ahead and it is Sunday. Did you know that if you don't have heavy cream you can substitute it for Evaporated milk, and if you don't have that either you can make your own using milk and butter. All you need to make one cup of cream is 1/3 cup of melted butter whisked into 2/3 warm milk.

Here is what you need for the scones:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbs baking powder

2 tbs sugar

1/2 tsp salt

5 tbs butter

1 cup heavy cream

Mix together dry ingredients ( flour, baking powder, sugar and salt) using the whisk attachment.

Add in 5 tbs of butter cut into pieces and mix on medium speed until crumbly.

Make a well and add in 1 cup of cream, switch to the paddle attachment and mix until dough forms, do not over work the dough.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Fold in 1 cup of bluerries and turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape dough into a rectangle.

Cut dough into 4 pieces. Cut each of those pieces in half. You now have 8 squares. Cut each square in half on the diagonal to create 16 triangles.

Place triangles on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush cream on the top of each scone. Bake 14 minutes.

Here is what you need for the Lemon Glaze:

1/8 cup lemon juice

1/2 tablesppon butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

Mix lemon juice and sugar together. Add in butter and microwave for 30 seconds to melt butter. wisk until smooth. Drizzle on top of scones.
